Feature A mission to heal the sick
The feeling's mutual: Orakei nurse Tania Litherland with
Togolese girl Balkissa.
Three months volun-
teering on an aid ship in
west Africa has re-
assured an Auckland
nurse that she can make
a difference.
Between May and July
this year Tania Lither-
land worked on board
the Africa Mercy, the
world s largest non-
governmental hospital
ship.
She was one of 450
crew members who paid
their own way and
delivered free health
care services to the poor.
Her involvement with
an eight-year-old Togo-
lese patient called Bal-
kissa is something she ll
never forget.
Balkissa had a tongue
so large she couldn t
close her mouth and
could eat only pureed
food and soup.
On the day that I met
her, Balkissa was so
afraid of white people
she had tears streaming
down her face and was
hiding under the blan-
kets.
But after a couple of
days and lots of constant
love and gentle attention
she realised that we
were caring and were
able to be trusted, Ms
Litherland says.
From then on, she
would sit on my lap, run
and hug me and jump up
and want to be carried.
After two surgeries
and a month in the care
of the ship s nurses, Bal-
kissa went home with a
reconstructed mouth and
a brighter future.
Ms Litherland had
previously been over-
whelmed by the poverty,
disease and need in
Africa.
The idea almost made
me give up and not even
try to make a difference.
But now I can see
that I can make a differ-
ence in people s lives
working as a team.
The crew members
were from 35 countries
and included 20 New
Zealanders.
Ms Litherland had
always dreamed of
changing people s lives
and five years into her
career, sought sponsor-
ship and paid for her
flights to Africa.
Some people thought
it was very strange that I
volunteered my time as
well as paying to live on
the Africa Mercy, she
says.
At the same time they
respected this and
wished they could do it.
She says the experi-
ence opened her eyes to
the different ways in
which God works.
I now know there is
potential for a wonder-
fully fulfilling life.
Mercy Ships usually
spend 10 months each
year in a west African
nation. Since 1978 the
programme has helped
more than 2.5 million
people and provided
services valued at more
than $1.1 billion.

Red noses on sale now
Cure Kids Red Nose Day is coming
back on November 19 and Kiwis can
get ready by picking up their red nose
items.
Cure Kids, in association with Paper

research into life-threatening child-
hood illnesses affecting Kiwi kids.
Red noses, badges, wristbands, car

able from Paper Plus and Take Note
stores and Shell service stations across
the country, and Cure Kids is calling
on all New Zealanders to get red and

perfect opportunity to get a bit silly for
a serious cause.
